Cool Swag of the Week: There Will be Bullwhips
Filed under: Fandom », Movie Marketing »
I didn't get a Juno hamburger phone or one of those yummy There Will be Blood milkshakes that were being delivered around LA recently (I don't live in LA, so it would've gotten all melty by the time it got to my house anyhow, so I'm not bitter ... ), and I don't get a lot of pig masks or movie-related thongs, but every now and again a studio sends something cool enough to write about, and today is one of those days.
DHL just dropped off a package a bit ago. Usually when they show up at my door, it's with a screener of an indie flick, or a DVD I'm reviewing. This time, however, the package felt ... oddly lumpy. I opened it up, and there inside was an Official Indiana Jones Bullwhip, accompanying the official trailer for the film. I managed to snag a few pics before my pack of kids ran off to play with it (after stern admonishment that they are NOT to use it to hit each other ... or the dog ... or their parents).
What really struck me, though, was that when I said, "Oh, cool, it's an Indiana Jones bullwhip!" they collectively looked at me and said, "Who?" So I called my dad and told him, and he was much more satisfyingly excited about it than they were. It made me realize that we've been terribly regress in our kids' movie education -- how could they live with me and NOT know who Indiana Jones is? It's even worse that when we realized we'd never showed them Ghostbusters! We're going to have to remedy that.
Now all I need is an official Rose McGowan machine-gun leg from Grindhouse, and I'll be all set ...
Comic-Con: Wrapping-Up With Tons Of Photos
Filed under: Action », Sci-Fi & Fantasy », Comic/Superhero/Geek », ComicCon »
So, it's been just over a week since Comic-Con wrapped up, and I've had time to catch up on sleep, dig all of my geek gear out of my bag, delouse my Captain Marvel costume, and process all of the pop culture I was exposed to without a radiation shield. For awhile it left me weaker than Green Lantern's ability to affect the color yellow, if you know what I mean.
You can read my bullet-pointed, bite-size-chunked roundup of the news that hit closest to home for me after the break, and also check out our massive gallery of shots from the show floor and the panels below. Comic-Con always seems like such a massive buildup each year, but when it's over you scratch your head a bit and say, "Was that all there was?" Then you start looking forward to next year.
